I've noticed in recent months that the Cast Members working in the Tiki Room are getting more and more indolent. Usually the Host or Hostess will say something like, "Now we have to wake up our Master of Ceremonies, Jose. Wake up Jose!" The Cast Members will usually have a stick and tap Jose's post and magically, he wakes up and the show starts.
For the longest time when I was little and even when I was in middle and high school, I thought that the show only started when the Cast Member tapped Jose's post. Maybe there was some sort of mechanism on his post that signaled when the stick hit his post, because Jose would always wake up at that point and never before.
Well, the magic faded away as today's Tiki Room Cast Members are not doing the tapping anymore. Every once in a great while will I see a Host or Hostess do it the way it is supposed to be done, but most of the time, they do not. Sometimes, the Host will do something like, just stand in the corner and tell everyone to start clapping. Or he/she will just tell everyone to say "Wake up Jose!", which I suppose isn't that bad, but sometimes the CM won't do anything! Jose will just wake up without any CM "help". That's why I call it laziness. It may be a small little insignificant thing to bring up, but I love the Tiki Room and even a little thing as tapping Jose's post is much better than making everyone clap not doing anything at all!

) Cast members really have SO many opportunities to improve the guest experience. Naturally, being in that position for so many hours so many days of so many weeks means it's got to be hard to keep it "fresh"...but there are CMs who pull it off, and boy, would I like to join their ranks.
